Freedom Trail vs Vellum

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Freedom Trail reads as beige-yellow, while Vellum reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Vellum (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than Freedom Trail (LRV 59), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Freedom Trail runs yellow while Vellum is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 13.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
